Since then this effect has been intensively examined, first especially with proteins, later even with linear polyelectrolytes.

From thickeners in foods to super plasticizers in concrete to water-soluble variants investigated by the medical industry for coatings on implants and controlling drug release in the ...

The general applicability of the system is demonstrated with the creation of layered hydrogels from both chitosan and alginate, which are cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes, respectively.

Topics include living matter and synthetic materials including polyelectrolytes, polyzwitterions, polyampholytes, proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, and DNA/RNA. Serving as a gateway to the ...
